BREEDERS ASSOCIATION SETS UP INCOME PROTECTION AND FAMILY ACCIDENT INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR MEMBERSHIP
In a recent news release to the VOICE , it was learned that the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders ’ Association has been successful in obtaining a group insurance program for the membership . MUTUAL of OMAHA , one of the leading Insurance Companies in this field , prepared the program to meet the needs of people in the horse business . It offers excellent protection for trainers , amateurs , breeders , exhibitors and others who are in contact with horses . As we all know , when a horseman is injured , he is “ out of business ” until he can ride again .
This is , in our opinion , one . of the finest moves that the Association has ever made on behalf of the membership . We strongly urge all members of the Breeders Association to take advantage of this fine program . We already have !
The following release by the Association gives a detailed outline of their program and its many benefits .
“ Recently our Board of Directors announced that they had accepted the special insurance plans which were offered to us by Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company and its life insurance affiliate . United of Omaha .
“ This important decision was reached only after a careful study and comparison was made on the many types of plans as submitted to us by more than a few other companies . We believe this program is vitally needed by our members , for it offers the most important basic protection at LOWER rates . The program works on the group principle where a large number of people together can obtain liberal coverage at a comparable lower rate than could an individual . Moreover Mutual of Omaha is among the . leaders in the Insurance Industry and they arc able to offer the liberal complete program wc require at the lower group rate . This excellent company , also , is able to offer prompt , persona ] sendee , with local personnel throughout our entire membership area .
“ There are two basic plans in the program : one is an Income Disability plan and the other is a Family Group Accident policy . Your Board has long recognized the members ’ need to protect his income when he is disabled and cannot work . . . also accidents are on the rise and we felt that to have , complete protection we should include the special accident coverage . Our members are perhaps more vulnerable to serious sickness or accident than many members of other professions . We knew this need existed and wanted to provide this type of protection for the lowest possible cost to you .
“ Briefly stated , the new income protection plan pays up to $ 400.00 a month when the insured member is sick or hurt and cannot work . The member chooses the amount of the plan he feels fits his own personal needs best , ( up to the limit ) The plan is tailored to avoid costly duplication of coverage . Any member under age 69 and working full time is eligible to apply for this plan . The importance of such a plan cannot be fully realized until the member is disabled and desperately needs cash to pay medical bills plus the expenses of everyday living . The financial help provided can prevent the loss of savings or the accumulation of debts which might take months or even years to pay .
